We have literally billions of third world humans that can't fucking wait to get first world amenities like air conditioning, heat, computers, televisions, etc. Energy consumption will continue to increase world wide. They arent gonna give a shit if they have to burn coal to get what they want.

Forget the 3rd world, Europe is firing up their coal plants again. They're going to be burning lignite, the most polluting coal there is. China has all but stopped LNG imports, they're stockpiling coal.

MannyIsGod used to get mad at me because I agreed we are 100% responsible for the increased CO2 levels but said we don't fully understand how that will impact the climate, could be worse or less than the current science predicts, but the one thing we can count on is we sure as hell are going to find out.

And if someone like CC gets online and posts caring comments the climate will respond by reversing its course. If it's not personal responsibility then we indeed cannot do anything about it. I recycle, but I am not going to alter the course of landfills on my own (fat jokes aside tbh). I never understood why democrats seem to think they need to be forced into change and won't do it voluntarily, even if they believe it needs to happen.

The Clean Air Act has a proven record of public health and environmental protection since 1970.

Progress Cleaning the Air and Improving People's Health

For more than forty-five years the Clean Air Act has cut pollution as the U.S. economy has grown.

-Experience with the Clean Air Act since 1970 has shown that protecting public health and building the economy can go hand in hand.

-Clean Air Act programs have lowered levels of six common pollutants -- particles, ozone, lead, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide and sulfur dioxide -- as well as numerous toxic pollutants.
Between 1970 and 2020, the combined emissions of the six common pollutants (PM2.5 and PM10, SO2, NOx, VOCs, CO and Pb) dropped by 78 percent. This progress occurred while U.S. economic indicators remain strong.

-The emissions reductions have led to dramatic improvements in the quality of the air that we breathe. Between 1990 and 2020, national concentrations of air pollutants improved 73 percent for carbon monoxide, 86 percent for lead (from 2010), 61 percent for annual nitrogen dioxide, 25 percent for ozone, 26 percent for 24-hour coarse particle concentrations, 41 percent for annual fine particles (from 2000), and 91 percent for sulfur dioxide. (For more trends information, see EPA's Air Trends site.)

-These air quality improvements have enabled many areas of the country to meet national air quality standards set to protect public health and the environment. For example, all of the 41 areas that had unhealthy levels of carbon monoxide in 1991 now have levels that meet the health-based national air quality standard. A key reason is that the motor vehicle fleet is much cleaner because of Clean Air Act emissions standards for new motor vehicles.

-Airborne lead pollution, a widespread health concern before EPA phased out lead in motor vehicle gasoline under Clean Air Act authority, now meets national air quality standards in most areas of the country.

-State emission control measures to implement the Act, as well as EPA's national emissions standards, have contributed to air quality improvements.

Because of the Act, Americans breathe less pollution and face lower risks of premature death and other serious health effects.

I can accept that climate change is real and we will warm by an average of 1.1 degrees centigrade t wav now and 2300. However the heat wave if 2022 is fucking hot, but in 2021 we only popped 100 maybe a couple of times. This is WEATHER. The climate didn't go completely to hell in one year. Im not a climate denier but fat sweaty Blake is not a climatologist either.

Why would you think we're only going to warm by 1 degree at the end of the century? And why would you think that is going to be the same across the globe? We've warned about 1.25 deg C since 1900 and we're likely to add another 2 degrees C to that by the end of this century. We'll probably be at 1.5 total warming by the end of this decade. Places l

Yes, the heat wave is weather, but so what? Heat waves and all other weather happen in the context of a climate, and as the climate has warned these heat waves are much more likely now than they were before. The heat wave is 100% climate change in action. Every heat wave that happens now is. There's a reason we have accelerated in setting new record high temperatures but have really slowed down for record lows. Texas is probably not going to be as fucked as a lot of places because there is still water in half the state and people are already used to being hot, and you can generate a lot of power via solar and wind but man there will come a time in my life when we see a summer with over 70 100 degree days which is still fucking insane.

Also y'all are lucky AF the solar infrastructure in TX took a huge boost recently. For as much as dumbfuck TX politicians talk shit about solar and wind, its currently saving your ass from grid failure. Better hope none of those shitty power plants goes down because then people are realy gonna find out how shitty heat waves are.

No clue what global warming denier he got that from. By 2300 I wonder how much of the Greenland ice sheet will even remain since last time we had this much CO2 in the air the sea levels were somewhere from 45 to 115 feet higher.

Most scenarios show us leveling off after this century because there's only so much CO2 stored in all fossil fuel stores and world population estimate also don't grow forever. I would be absolutely shocked if we're still using fossil fuels like this at the end of this century. Well I guess I'll be dead by then but yeah, that shouldn't be the case. The lionshare of warming will happen in our lifetimes although not all because the oceans take a long time to warm so there will always be long lag for a portion of it.

Still, 4 degrees C of total warming is an absolute insane amount since the heating is disproportionate over land and in the NH. Texas Summers may very well be 8-10 degrees F hotter on Average by the end of the century. Average high temps for San Antonio for August may end up over 100 in our lifetimes. That's pretty fucking insane.

People on the whole really don't understand how bad things are going to be in the coming 20-30 years for this country. I have no fucking clue on the West is going to have any water. We're going to see a FUCKTON of climate migration within our own nation and thats not to say what is going to happen with climate refugees. Things are on the verge of being dire right now for Vegas and that surrounding area but there is absolutely no relief in sight so I have no idea how they're going to handle it 10+ years from now other than people are going to have to move.

If people thought COVID was bad they're about to see things on a whole new level with climate change.

Nixon and Reagan are probably two of the best presidents for environmental impact in our history. Every one that has come since is in the running for the worst. History is going to look back on the current GOP unkindly for a variety of reasons but I have a hard time believing that climate change won't ultimately be the worst.

Even if we stop putting a bunch more CO2 in the air by 2100 the CO2 that will already be there won't continue warming the planet? We're at 150% of pre-industrial revolution levels and can't imagine we won't be at 200% by some point this century.

It will, but CO2 emissions should level off well before then and probably drop. Even in the worst emissions scenarios we can't keep doing what we're doing very long and people are going to make shit change the worse it gets. Its one thing when its people getting flooded in one city or just a handful of people (relatively) losing their homes to fires but pretty soon the bottom line is going to be food and economic damages to EVERYONE so its not really realistic that we can continue to increase the CO2 concentrations for another 100 years.

There will be some lag time with heating but most of the projections show that most of the heating happens before 2100. Now, just because its not heating doesn't mean shit is cooling down. Without actively removing CO2 from the atmosphere, temps will stay at those levels for thousands of years.

Happy 200th birthday to Eunice Foote, hidden climate science pioneer

Born on July 17, 1819, Eunice Newton Foote was an amateur scientist and a women's rights campaigner who was friends with American suffragist Elizabeth Cady Stanton.

Foote's experiments with atmospheric gases and her insights about past climate were overlooked for more than a century.

Foote’s experiments in the 1850s

demonstrated the ability of atmospheric water vapor and carbon dioxide to affect solar heating,

foreshadowing John Tyndall’s later experiments that described the workings of Earth’s greenhouse effect.

".. The CO2 Coalition has received more than $1 million from foundations that support conservative causes and from officials in the energy industry, according to tax records obtained by the Climate Investigations Center.

The largest donation — $170,000 — came from the Mercer Family Foundation, a top donor to President Trump. The Mercers have also contributed more than $7 million to the Heartland Institute, which attacks climate science.

The Charles Koch Institute provided $33,283 to the CO2 Coalition, while the Wisconsin-based Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation donated $50,000. The Sarah Scaife Foundation contributed $135,000, and the Florida-based Thomas W. Smith Foundation gave $75,000. EOG Resources Inc., an oil and gas company spun off from Enron Corp., gave $5,000. The Randolph Foundation in New York provided $40,000.

Because the writer is the one doing all the polluting obviously. Is that your angle? :lmao

Here's a nice wall of text for you to not read.

Kindergarten version: People were polluting the Earth in the 1920's.

From the January 1925 issue of Science and Invention:

Too many people nowadays are prone to settle themselves back in their chairs and congratulate themselves about the wonderful age in which we are living. With railroads, airships, radio and other "marvelous" activities abounding around us, it is easy to lull oneself into the belief that surely the millenium has arrived and that the world will never look rosier than it does now.

As a matter of fact, 300 years hence this present age of ours will probably be termed "the dark age of science." This is not merely a catch phrase used by the writer, but he means it in all sincerity, and what is more, he can easily prove it.

Nowadays it makes us laugh when we think of how people in England and other parts of the world some five hundred years ago [lived] on top of coal mines and froze to death. They simply did not know that coal would burn and that it could be made to heat houses and otherwise perform tremendous work. While we laugh, you should soberly consider that we are doing the self same thing ourselves today. All about us there is untold quantities of energy, much cheaper, much better, more sanitary than coal, but we simply have not learned how to use it because we do not know. Every piece of rock, every car full of sand has a potential dormant power locked up within it. We may call this power atomic or by any other name, but the fact remains that we do not use it because we do not know how.

Google has revealed the root cause of the outage (https://www.theregister.com/2022/07/19/google_oracle_cloud/) that disrupted services at its europe-west2-a zone, based in London, during a recent heatwave.


"One of the datacenters that hosts zone europe-west2-a could not maintain a safe operating temperature due to a simultaneous failure of multiple, redundant cooling systems combined with the extraordinarily high outside temperatures," states Google's incident report (https://status.cloud.google.com/incidents/fmEL9i2fArADKawkZAa2).

Inaction on climate change will cost the global economy $178 trillion over the next 50 years, enough loss for a 7.6% cut to global GDP in 2070 alone, a new report from the Deloitte Center for Sustainable Progress said Monday.https://www.marketwatch.com/story/unchecked-climate-change-will-cost-the-global-economy-178-trillion-deloitte-11653329417

If, on the other had, the world acts rapidly to achieve net zero emissions by midcentury, the transformation of the economy could set the world up for stronger growth by 2070...Such a transformation could increase the size of the world economy by $43t in net present value terms from 2021-2070.

conversion to 100% renewable power technologically doable by 2050, says Stanford study. cost recouped in 6 years, net jobs added.



The study (https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlelanding/2022/EE/D2EE00722C) concludes that we do not need miracle technologies to solve these problems. By electrifying all energy sectors; producing electricity from clean, renewable sources; creating heat, cold, and hydrogen from such electricity; storing electricity, heat, cold and the hydrogen; expanding transmission; and shifting the time of some electricity use, we can create safe, cheap and reliable energy everywhere.

https://thehill.com/opinion/energy-e...osts-doing-it/ (https://thehill.com/opinion/energy-environment/3539703-no-miracle-tech-needed-how-to-switch-to-renewables-now-and-lower-costs-doing-it/)



We found that the overall upfront cost to replace all energy in the 145 countries, which emit 99.7 percent of world carbon dioxide, is about $62 trillion. However, due to the $11 trillion annual energy cost savings, the payback time for the new system is less than six years.


The new system may also create over 28 million more long-term, full-time jobs than lost worldwide and require only about 0.53 percent of the world’s land for new energy, with most of this area being empty space between wind turbines on land that can be used for multiple purposes. Thus, we found that the new system may require less energy, cost less and creates more jobs than the current system.

stopping all emissions today instead of 50 BILLION MORE CO2 tons this year, would solve nothing

the CO2 up there now warming the planet to destruction, will be up warming the planet for 100s of years.

When Repugs control all 3 branches, US emissions and all types of pollution of air, land, water, humans will get much worse as the Repugs/ECOTIS destroy the EPA and all environmental/safety laws, regs.

Even without considering worst-case climate responses, the current trajectory puts the world on track for a temperature rise between 2.1 °C and 3.9 °C by 2100 (11 (https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.2108146119#core-r11)). If all 2030 nationally determined contributions are fully implemented, warming of 2.4 °C (1.9 °C to 3.0 °C) is expected by 2100. Meeting all long-term pledges and targets could reduce this to 2.1 °C (1.7 °C to 2.6 °C) (12 (https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.2108146119#core-r12)). Even these optimistic assumptions lead to dangerous Earth system trajectories. Temperatures of more than 2 °C above preindustrial values have not been sustained on Earth’s surface since before the Pleistocene Epoch (or more than 2.6 million years ago) (13 (https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.2108146119#core-r13)).https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.2108146119

That depends on who says it, obviously. It's crickets from one side, dunking on the next. Of course if you're on the left, you have to get in line to dunk. If you're on the right, the court is usually open.

It's fine. So were the remarks asking for all the other daily weather bullet points that didn't come with a dozen likes from the fam.

And what's wrong with that? I don't hit anybody else's Like or Thanks buttons. Sometimes things will get a reaction, sometimes they won't. I'm not posting to get them either.


You know damn well that if anyone on the right started a similar thread they'd be ridiculed daily. WH23 has a half dozen threads talking about weather or population or climate change. It's basically him talking to himself. Not for nothing but you guys do love to jerk each other off.

Depends on what the content of the thread is. We have boutons doing monologues on the left, should be an easy dunk every time for the right if they care to do that.

Then we have threads like that Pelosi thread or Hemisboomer threads as well, that generally end up backfiring badly, because those people don't really stand by what they post. If you only have gotcha threads with superficial takes, then it probably won't last very long.

Taking some time off in Santa Barbara. Los Angeles just spoils you the fuck up with the weather. Here’s like 65% humidity and it feels sticky hot, even at 75 degrees.

Happened in January this year. Will it slow global warming or speed it up?

LOL your distractions. Yeah it added a lot of CO2. Much less CO2 than humanity added the last 25 years.

Won't do anything noticeable. We're talking hundredths of a degree over a year.

Not enough sulfur dioxide expelled.
